Ideally located in the central Eixample district of Barcelona, the Picasso Suite apartment has a huge rooftop terrace boasting great views towards Montjuic and the Olympic Stadium. The apartment is 2 minutes’ walk from Paseo de Gracia, one of Barcelona’s main streets for shopping and culture.

The terrace has dining table, comfortable seating area and sun-loungers. Indoors, the apartment is modern and tastefully furnished throughout. There is a double bedroom with queen size bed and a living area with flat-screen TV and sofa bed, which can accommodate 2 additional guests. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances. The bathroom has a rainforest shower.

All of Barcelona’s cultural attractions and main commercial districts are within easy reach. The Sagrada Familia is 10 minutes walk through the busy city streets. There are 2 metro stations (Verdaguer and Girona) within 5 minutes’ walk. St. Sebastian beach and the beautiful port area are 20 minutes’ away using the metro.

WE had a 4 day stay at this nice villa near Barcelona. What we liked most was the view from the terrace and the area which is really peaceful and beautiful. It has many very high end houses and condos specially around the next village down to road, St Vicent.
The house was really nice and i would recommened....but it does need some very easy and cheap tuning up to make it perfect, (specially for the pirce we paid). It is somewhat poorly equiped in terms of kitchen utensils, no sound system anywhere, no sahdes in one of the main bedrooms ( we requested fixing and despite the fact they said they woudl come they never did so i had to sleep with an eye mask everyday) and a light by the barbecue to see what you are cooking woudl be essentia. We also had a small incident with the alarm as the proeprty manager left it on and did not give us the Key to diactivated or the password for the alarm company, so we had that for a welcome...

When we arrived, we were a little skeptical. Walking up stairs, the host was waiting for us, she gave us good information about the apartment and some sighting tips. We felt welcome and of course we all like the apartment.

The fridge stocking is not good, but it was expected (from our experience), still we ordered it just in case we arrived late at night.

The apartment is 2 minutes a way from metro, still it's in a quieted alley. We feel pretty safe and that feeling is important for us since we have 3 children (10, 13 and 15 years).

Not just that the apartment is convenience close to the metro, it awesome next to apartment squares and alleys with small shops and restaurants (lots of them). Make your own breakfast? Sure, why not, it just 1 minute away from a great bakeries, 2 minutes away from stores with great Spanish jamón and fresh fruits.

The metro (Fontana station) close to the apartment, is the green line L3, the perfect metro line for sightseeing, 4 stops to La Rambla, If you shopping, 3 stops to Catalunya station where you can shop those exclusive brands or more casual brands at Diagonal (1 stop) or Passeig de Gracia (2 stops).

The beaches or the ports seems far if you use Google Map, but no worry, just 20 minutes with metro, you need make one change to L2 (or is it L1), and you'll have all the beaches you want.

Yes, we were skeptical when we arrived. That skeptical turns into love, it just so convenience and fit our family needs.
